| ♪ Musical track: Memories | |
| —Kako Natsume— My name is Kako Natsume, and I'm 13 years old. | |
| —Kako Natsume— My parents run Natsume Books, a used bookstore in Kamihama. | |
 | |
| File:Exedra Story Icon 301131.png Kako Natsume | As always, the place is packed with books. |
| —Kako Natsume— Being brought up in a used bookstore, books are a huge part of my life. | |
| —Kako Natsume— There are so many amazing books in the store, and Mom and Dad are always talking about books. | |
| —Kako Natsume— So I naturally inherited their passion, and now I always have a book on the go. | |
| —Kako Natsume— Sometimes, I get so absorbed in a book that I forget to go to sleep. | |
| File:Exedra Story Icon 301131.png Kako Natsume | *Yawn* So sleepy... |
| File:Exedra Story Icon 301131.png Kako Natsume | Maybe I should take a little walk. |
 | |
| File:Exedra Story Icon 301131.png Kako Natsume | (The sun's so bright.) |
| File:Exedra Story Icon 301131.png Kako Natsume | (But at least I don't feel sleepy anymore.) |
| File:Exedra Story Icon 301131.png Kako Natsume | (And it's really cleared my head. I can probably get back to reading now...) |
| File:Exedra Story Icon 300531.png Nanaka Tokiwa | ...... |
| File:Exedra Story Icon 301131.png Kako Natsume | (Nanaka?) |
| File:Exedra Story Icon 301131.png Kako Natsume | (Why's she loitering by the mailbox like that? She looks so distressed.) |
| File:Exedra Story Icon 300531.png Nanaka Tokiwa | *Sigh* |
| File:Exedra Story Icon 300531.png Nanaka Tokiwa | I've come so far. I can't back out now. |
| File:Exedra Story Icon 301131.png Kako Natsume | Nanaka! |
| File:Exedra Story Icon 300531.png Nanaka Tokiwa | Huh?! |
| *Thump* | |
| File:Exedra Story Icon 300531.png Nanaka Tokiwa | Oh... |
| File:Exedra Story Icon 301131.png Kako Natsume | (She dropped a letter in the mailbox...) |
| File:Exedra Story Icon 301131.png Kako Natsume | S-sorry. I didn't mean to startle you. |
| File:Exedra Story Icon 300531.png Nanaka Tokiwa | Oh, it's fine, really. I meant to mail it anyway. |
| File:Exedra Story Icon 301131.png Kako Natsume | Are you okay? You look a little upset. |
| File:Exedra Story Icon 300531.png Nanaka Tokiwa | Seriously, I'm fine. |
| File:Exedra Story Icon 300531.png Nanaka Tokiwa | If you hadn't turned up, I might have just run away. |
| File:Exedra Story Icon 301131.png Kako Natsume | Huh? |

| File:Exedra Story Icon 300531.png Nanaka Tokiwa | ...... |
| File:Exedra Story Icon 300531.png Nanaka Tokiwa | Read the letter. |
| File:Exedra Story Icon 301131.png Kako Natsume | Ah, Nanaka! |
| File:Exedra Story Icon 301131.png Kako Natsume | She's gone. |
| File:Exedra Story Icon 301131.png Kako Natsume | What did she mean, "read the letter"? |
| —Kako Natsume— Was the letter she was wavering over meant for me? | |
| —Kako Natsume— Why would she send me a letter? And why did she look so torn about sending it? | |

| —???— I know I should be telling this to your face. | |
| —???— But I'm not brave enough, so I'm writing this letter instead. | |
| —???— You know, you and I seem so similar, yet we're so fundamentally different. | |
| —???— We've talked about this before, but the reason why I threw myself into this path was because of my dad and my family. | |
| —???— My dad lost everything, and it broke him. It was left to me to fix him and take revenge for what happened. | |
| —???— It might as well have been a curse. | |
| —???— I saw it as inevitable, a matter of course. I knew I had to avenge him. | |
| —???— But you took a different route. | |
| —???— You also lost something important, but vengeance was never on your mind. | |
| —???— To me, you were both dazzlingly brilliant... | |
| —???— ...and yet infuriatingly loathsome. | |

| —Kako Natsume— I was never particularly wealthy; I never had anything special in my life, but I was happy every day. | |
| —Kako Natsume— My dad would recommend me books, my mom would help me study... | |
| —Kako Natsume— A typical life, perhaps, but those days were very special to me. | |
 | |
| —Kako Natsume— Then, on one of those seemingly ordinary days, tragedy stuck. | |
| —Kako Natsume— There was a riot over land grabs in the neighborhood. | |
| —Kako Natsume— We worked together as a community to protest, but this solidarity didn't last long. | |
| —Kako Natsume— Harassment of those who objected like ourselves got worse as each day passed. | |
| —Kako Natsume— There were leaflets defaming us, sinister silent phone calls multiple times a day... | |
| —Kako Natsume— And in their exhaustion, everyone started to turn their frustrations inward rather than outward. | |
| —Kako Natsume— There was discord within our ranks. | |
| —Kako Natsume— Eventually, even the mood within our own house began to sour. | |
| |
| File:Exedra Story Icon 301131.png Kako Natsume | Dad...are you okay? |

| File:Exedra Story Icon 800700.png Kako's Father | Don't worry about it, Kako. It's not important. |
| File:Exedra Story Icon 301131.png Kako Natsume | But... |
| File:Exedra Story Icon 800700.png Kako's Father | I said not to worry about it. I'll figure something out, okay? |
| —Kako Natsume— My dad was wound so tight back then, it seemed like he might snap at any moment. | |
| —Kako Natsume— I had this terrible feeling that something bad was going to happen. And then... | |
 | |
| File:Exedra Story Icon 301131.png Kako Natsume | My house... My house... |
| —Kako Natsume— Our house was set on fire. | |
 | |
| —???— That's how I lost everything I ever cared about. | |
| —???— Yes, I felt angry and outraged, but more than that, I felt an overwhelming sense of loss. I was dumbfounded, helpless. | |
| —???— And that's when I met her. "N." | |
| —???— N told me everything I needed to do. Who took from me what I cared about and what I needed to do to destroy them. | |
| —???— Usually, I would have laughed it all off as a joke. | |
| —???— But in that moment, she was like a ray of sunlight in the darkness. I clung to her. | |
| —???— Blissfully unaware that I was being deceived. | |
| —???— N acts nice, but that's all it is: an act. She only ever sees others as pawns to carry out her own revenge. | |
| —???— I hate her. | |
| —???— I want to take revenge on her. | |

| —???— She'd kept it in a drawer of her desk, unable to ever pluck up the courage to send it. | |
| —???— Within it, N had written her true feelings. She even apologized. | |
| —???— But even so, I couldn't forgive her. | |
| —???— If you were going to deceive me, you should have kept up the deception, and made me pursue the same dream as you. | |
| —???— Even if that was to be revenge, it would have been a sparkling, wonderful one for me... | |
| —???— N... How I hate you. | |
| —???— Unable to get my revenge, I am left empty inside. | |

| File:Exedra Story Icon 301131.png Kako Natsume | I didn't understand what it all meant, but... |
| File:Exedra Story Icon 300531.png Nanaka Tokiwa | You're wondering whether a Magical Girl wrote it? |
| File:Exedra Story Icon 301131.png Kako Natsume | Yes, exactly! |
| File:Exedra Story Icon 301131.png Kako Natsume | This book...and the note I found in the store... |
| File:Exedra Story Icon 301131.png Kako Natsume | It looks like it was published privately. |
| File:Exedra Story Icon 301131.png Kako Natsume | But it's so sensational... |
| File:Exedra Story Icon 301131.png Kako Natsume | ...that even after I'd finished reading, the words were still whirling around my head. |
| File:Exedra Story Icon 300531.png Nanaka Tokiwa | Do you think that's why... |
| File:Exedra Story Icon 300531.png Nanaka Tokiwa | ...you've been so absent-minded lately? |
| File:Exedra Story Icon 301131.png Kako Natsume | Yes, maybe. And it's not just the book... |
| File:Exedra Story Icon 301131.png Kako Natsume | There was that letter I showed you before. The one stuck inside the book. |
| File:Exedra Story Icon 300531.png Nanaka Tokiwa | The one that looks like it was written by this "N"? |
| File:Exedra Story Icon 301131.png Kako Natsume | Yes. |
| File:Exedra Story Icon 300531.png Nanaka Tokiwa | It is tempting to read too much into it... |
| File:Exedra Story Icon 300531.png Nanaka Tokiwa | ...but it was probably just written by some random person who enjoyed the book. |
| File:Exedra Story Icon 300531.png Nanaka Tokiwa | That's much more likely, don't you think? |
| File:Exedra Story Icon 301131.png Kako Natsume | I see... |

| File:Exedra Story Icon 301131.png Kako Natsume | Huh? |
| File:Exedra Story Icon 300531.png Nanaka Tokiwa | Oh, nothing. Just talking to myself. |
| File:Exedra Story Icon 300531.png Nanaka Tokiwa | Mind if I borrow the book and the letter for a while? |
| File:Exedra Story Icon 301131.png Kako Natsume | Sure, go for it! |

| File:Exedra Story Icon 301131.png Kako Natsume | Hmm... |
| File:Exedra Story Icon 301131.png Kako Natsume | In the book, she's described with such hatred... |
| File:Exedra Story Icon 301131.png Kako Natsume | But it's obvious that the author cares about her. |
| File:Exedra Story Icon 301131.png Kako Natsume | At least, that's what I think. |

| —Kako Natsume— It left such an impression on me that I still remember it now. | |
| |
| File:Exedra Story Icon 301131.png Kako Natsume | (Why did she look like that?) |
| —Kako Natsume— Was she angry at me for something? Was it because I turned up at her house unannounced? | |
| —Kako Natsume— Or...was it because I startled her the other day and caused her to post that letter? | |
